Q525--MO - Mobile Lithotripsy Services - 621 RFQ - 36C24926Q0154

The Department of Veterans Affairs, through Network Contracting Office 9 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, has awarded a firm-fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) under solicitation 36C24926Q0154 for Mobile Lithotripsy Services at the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center in Mountain Home, Tennessee. The contract spans five years, from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2031, with an estimated total value of $1,840,000 and no option periods. The contractor is required to provide on-site laser services using VA-owned or contractor-owned Holmium (20W and 100W), GreenLight XPS, Aura XP, CO2 Flex Fiber, and CO2 Free Beam laser systems, performing procedures on an as-needed, case-by-case basis. Each procedure must be accompanied by a certified Medical Laser Safety Officer (CLSO/CLSO-M) who is trained on the specific equipment and uses only VA-purchased manufacturer-specified fibers; third-party fibers are strictly prohibited. The contractor must ensure all equipment is fully operational and staffed by qualified personnel ready to deploy by May 1, 2026. Performance is governed by a comprehensive set of requirements including the Performance Work Statement, Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan, and strict adherence to VA safety, infection control, and information security protocols such as VA Handbook 6500, FIPS 140-2 encryption, and ANSII laser safety standards. The contractor must submit annual certifications for each employee including U.S. citizenship verification, background checks, drug tests, infection control documentation, and current laser certifications. All personnel must be proficient in English, cleared by VA credentialing processes, and approved by facility leadership. Invoices must be submitted monthly through the VA e-Invoicing portal, with payments processed electronically via EFT through SAM.gov. Evaluation factors prioritize Technical Expertise—particularly certification, training, and availability of qualified staff—followed by price competitiveness and past performance, assessed under a trade-off approach rather than LPTA. Organizational conflicts of interest must be fully disclosed through a certification statement, and noncompliance with security directives, staffing requirements, or procedural standards may result in immediate service rejection or contract termination. The Contracting Officer’s Representative serves as the primary point of contact for both administrative and technical oversight, ensuring continuous alignment with VA operational and compliance mandates.
